WP-Slimbox2

Check out the original Javascript page for a list of all the features, which you should be able to set from the plugin. I’ve also included the easing plugin to utilize the various enhanced easing functions if you so desire.

Support is graciously being hosted by Ryan Hellyer at PixoPoint.com I’ll make an effort to stay apprised of any questions that may arise.

A more elaborate discussion of features will be provided shortly.

Demonstration:
The demonstration uses all the standard settings except that the easing has been set to easeOutElastic.Grouped Gallery:
If you place `rel=”lightbox-imagesetname”` into your image links (replacing imagesetname with a unique name of your choice) all the images with imagesetname will be linked, allowing navigation by hovering over the left or right side of an image (until you see next/previous) or by using the assigned key codes (the defaults are configured here – left and right arrows).

By not including an imagesetname the effect limits itself to the clicked image.

Why did I write the script?:

I wrote this script after attempting to incorporate my Gallery2 gallery with WordPress. I found the WPG2 plugin very helpful (though I’m still learning its ins and outs to it), and attempted to use it’s built in lightbox and slimbox effects with no avail. Seeing that it was supposedly compatible with other plugins that added those effects I tried all of the ones I could find Lightbox2, Lightbox2, jQuery Lightbox, and Slimbox (yes, two of them were called Lightbox2).

None of them were bad, per se, though I was especially disappointed by the lack of control offered by most of them (Though it’s possible this was the fault of the JS, and not the plugin).

Another major downside with most of them was that they used javascript frameworks that I wasn’t already using. My site currently uses jQuery for K2 and the Multi-level Navigation Menu, and I’d prefer not to bulk up the site with additional frameworks. jQuery Lightbox was the exception, but it has a big ugly “ad” for the plugin in the upper right when you use it. I didn’t want that.

I do not get the Prev and Next arrows and it will not advance when I click on the photos. I have had all three admin panels up at the same time next to each other to make sure all the setting matched but no luck. Please help, this is driving me nuts! Thank you in advance.

With the new WordPress this plugin no longer just displays the images within a given post. Previous to the upgrade if a post had 6 images in it, that’s what would be shown. (Image 1 out of 6) Now it shows Image 1 out of 23, the total number of photos on the page.

Is there a work around for this, or do I need to wait for an update to the plugin?

fine addon, I use it in additione to Picasa Image Express.
One question: would it be possible to update so that the output of WP when using this will still be XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid?
The problem I encountered is that the link to the stylesheet is twice in the output, one head section and one in the footer. The one is the footer is not valid.
Thanks in advance.
